Bill Scott Posted August 2, 2017 Share #5 Posted August 2, 2017 Just my opinion I do not think it's real.I can not remember ever seeing that type of loop stitching forming the word parachute on a title.This is one that would have to be taken off the jacket to be sure.I am also not a big fan of the 5th army either.Just my opinion but as of now not something I would buy.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted August 2, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2017 I'm with you Scotty. I have very SERIOUS reservations about both the tab and the SSI. There is an excellent thread on Parachute Tabs here on the forum. Most of the known original variations are included there. None look like this one.

Allan I thought everything in the book was to be vetted original with a solid back trail to ownership or veteran? Or is this a case where putting anything in a book will get the item authenticated and more marketable?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
